The Saudis need to sell their oil more than anyone needs to buy it from Saudi. We should not always approach things on their terms totally disregarding accepted western norms of behaviour.

I don't see it like that, OPEC nudges the price of oil & every Western economy goes into panic mode. Its also worth noting that wherever or whatever conflicts go on, oil production in those regions continues & the West is first in the queue to buy it.

I suppose if one feels that anti Saudi they could refuse to use any oil based products......
